World Cup: England vs USA

Predictions for tomorrow night’s game World Cup game.

3-1 England.

Rooney scores twice with his head, and Gerrard pings one home.

Some twat at the back lets one of your lot through for an easy finish.

I’ll call 2-0.

HA! Not a bad prediction. That or 2-1. USA scores first.

Haha, that would be quite funny. I don’t care for soccer one bit, the only involvement this time is that my home country is hosting it.

May the best team win!

I can sense a USA vs the World on why soccer is boring, a pussy sport, blah blah blah argument brewing.

The Three Lions should win this comfortably but not without taking some damage from the Yanks. 3-1 sounds about right. Rooney will get on the scoresheet. England will probably get a penalty (given the anticipated physical battle between the two countries) which Lampard will tuck away. The rest is up for grabs, though I can see Dempsey grabbing the consolation goal for the US.

Its going to be a high scoring soccer match.
2-1 USA

I agree, I think the US takes this one 2 zip.

42 - 35 USA by a touchdowm.

I’ve never been as wrapped up in the World Cup as I am this year. In fact, I’ve gone so far as to find out this it is taking place now rather than finding out six months later :stuck_out_tongue:

When is the game? I’ll be sure to shout “America! Fuck yeah!” loud enough to drown out the tea time chants or whatever the limeys are carrying on about during the game.

(No offense to anyone, England is one of my top 10 favorite countries in the world. I mean, “favourite couuntries in the wourld.”)

there is already a world cup thread right? also I’m sticking withJGerman… I picking the US by a touchdown

.greg.

This sums it up nicely…

USA! USA! USA!

Every World Cup, I say to myself “OK, I’m in the minority here. The overwhelming majority of the world LOVES this game, so I’m going to give it another chance”.

And every World Cup, I reaffirm my position that soccer is significantly less exciting than watching two drunken Siberian Eskimos in a kayak race on Lake Baikal. Probably anywhere from 65-85% less exciting.

I just don’t get it. But in all fairness, much of the world thinks Ice Hockey is retarded too. I suppose what you’re raised with has a big influence.

Enjoy the tournament!

Yeah, hockey (NOT ice hockey - hockey is played on the ice) is a better, faster, tougher, higher-scoring game, but the World Cup is interesting just 'cause it’s so international. Each country has its own style.

That said, I’m rooting for England.

Agree with you. I gave it a chance by watching France v. Uruguay, how freaking boring. I’ll still watch tomorrow’s match-up though.

i want usa to beat them…i know this wont happen but thats what i want.

Should be a good game, but I’d put my money on England to win. Fabio Capello has really transformed this squad during the past year.
